All that rhetoric flies out the window with the next car bombing in Islamabad.
Discourages the killing of women....discourages... oh what strong words!

Yes... they are "discouraging" further killing of women. What a joke.
You're kidding, right? You throw this out in this thread? You really need to put your brain in gear before you post.:roll:
No I'm not kidding, multiple murder, of women as young and younger, occurs every other day in the Islamic homelands and it is committed by hideously evil drone jockeys who draw their pay from your masters and mine. You're objecting to the truth, the facts the hand on the trigger. If you think that Islamic terror can ever eclipse the terror inflicted by gold you're simply wrong and misguided because of it. Pray she lives to fight another day, pray she isn't helped by the vaunted NATO forces for good.
I think the line people are drawing beaver, the difference they see that you're failing to, is intent to actually kill this specific person. Yes, drone attacks need discussion. But, they don't quite compare, on a visceral level, with hunting down a specific child, and shooting her in the head.
A mid-size nuclear bomb would do wonders for the region.
The two men who committed this crime have been identified.
If Malala lives, she will probably be rehabilitated in Germany, which has offered assistance.
Malala's attackers identified: Rehman Malik
Why is it a joke? It's change. It's a step.
What has Malala Yousafzai done to the Taliban? | Kamila Shamsie | Comment is free | The GuardianThere's no need for the Taliban to invent propaganda against the American and Pakistan state (although they do) – both governments supply an excess of recruitment material for those who hate them. So if you view the Taliban simply through the prism of the war on terror and Pakistan and the United States, it's possible to think the process can be reversed; policies can be changed; everyone can stop being murderous and duplicitous.
But then there's Malala Yousafzai, standing in for all the women attacked, oppressed, condemned by the Taliban. What role have women played in creating the Taliban? Which of their failures is tied to the Taliban's strength? What grave responsibility, what terrible guilt do they carry around which explains the reprisals against them?
Is there anything more cowardly than a group of so called "men", stalking and shooting a fourteen year old girl who
voiced different beliefs?
The people that did this are extremists and do not represent mainstream Islam. While some Muslim sects oppose female education, mainstream Islam considers "the acquisition of knowledge is obligatory for women in the same way as in the case of men".

Because it will do nothing. Stick around for the next story of a woman to receive an acid splash in her face because she was too proud.
